Warrior’s Lair on PS3 and PS Vita cancelled

“Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that Warrior’s Lair for PS Vita is no longer in development,” a representative told IGN. “We apologize to those who pre-ordered the title and ask that they contact their retailer directly to cancel their pre-sale.”

Previously known as Ruin, Warrior’s Lair was in development at Idol Minds in collaboration with Sony San Diego.

The representative went on to say: “The line-up of PS Vita first-party and third-party content remains strong with more than 85 titles scheduled to launch for the system by the end of 2013 including Killzone: Mercenary, Tearaway, Doki Doki Universe, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, Flower, The Walking Dead, and more.”

There's so many ARPGs out there in the wild, it made no sense for Sony to make their own. Should approach Runic Games to see if they would be interested in porting over Torchlight II to the PS ecosystem. Cross-platform play between PS4, PS3, and Vita might be an enticing proposition.
